HFSJ out.write() jsp:forward

[lars carlsson]

Hi
On page 416 it say that you can�t use out.flush() and then make a <jsp:forward page= />. Can you make a out.write() and then <jsp:forward page= /> ?

I think no..please see the first Mock question of this chapter...Correct me,if wrong

[Shruthi Sam]

If you use out.write("") and then <jsp:forward /> , i think it will work. please correct me if am wrong

yes, you can do it, but remember... when you forward the request you�re saying that you aren�t responsible to the result of response, in this case, assuming you don�t called the out.flush(), the container will clear all buffered data in out object before it forward the request.

Its guaranteed that if you flush the buffer and then do a forward you will get a IllegalStateException.
out.flush();
<jsp:forward page="x.jsp"/>

However if you do
out.write("x");
<jsp:forward page="x.jsp"/>
Then you might not get exception because here all the data will be stored in the buffer and will not be flushed unless it fills up.
Default buffer size is 8kb and autoFlush attribute of page directlive is true.
Hence if you have 8kb of data before jsp:forward then container will flush it automatically and hence there is a possiblity that you can get exception out.write("x");
<jsp:forward page="x.jsp"/>

I hope am correct.
